Chapter 24: Why Not Just Blow Up the Whole Village While You're At It?
Huh???
Some random trash is actually yelling about killing us??
Holy crap!
I'm a tailed beast!
Calling me a stinky-mouthed doll—what kind of nonsense is this, little bro?!
Rage flared in the Nine-Tails' beastly eyes.
This brain-dead weakling ninja had pissed it off!
When a tailed beast gets angry, mountains of corpses follow!
"Master, let me kill this blind fool."
Just one glance—
in an instant,
the man's body froze rigid, unable to move.
Shockwaves crashed through his mind.
Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, right?
And this talking, nine-tailed fox plushie next to him…
could it really be the legendary Nine-Tailed Demon Fox—the nightmare of ordinary ninjas, the slaughterer of thousands?!!
What the actual hell?!
The released Nine-Tails wasn't rampaging,
wasn't destroying Konoha,
wasn't even angry—
it was chatting and laughing with Naruto.
And calling him… what was it again… oh right… Master???
The realization hit the man like a truck.
There was only one possible explanation for a tailed beast calling its Jinchūriki "Master":
the Jinchūriki had completely subdued the tailed beast.
And the tailed beast had willingly surrendered,
offering its chakra selflessly
for the Jinchūriki to use.
"Shoo shoo… you've killed enough people already. This iron-headed idiot is mine—don't fight me for him."
Naruto said with clear disdain.
The Nine-Tails looked innocent, but its eyes glared at the man with deep resentment.
You're the bastard who got me insulted.
I'm gonna kill you!
The man swallowed hard.
As long as he didn't have to fight Naruto and the Nine-Tails,
maybe he could still…
No—better to run.
"I'll use the explosive tag—
blow this place up!
Create chaos.
Then escape in the confusion."
"You're going to blow up my new house? That's going to make me very upset."
Somehow, Naruto had already appeared right in front of him.
His left hand clamped down on the man's wrist—the one holding the explosive tag.
The man strained with all his strength,
trying to break free.
But… it was futile.
Naruto's grip was like a steel vice.
No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't move it even a fraction.
The man reacted quickly.
His other hand drew a kunai and thrust it toward Naruto's throat.
The kunai was 0.0001 centimeters from Naruto's neck—
when a heart-rending pain exploded in the man's abdomen.
His internal organs twisted into a knot,
like a grotesque stew.
His heart suffered a fatal blow. The light in his eyes vanished.
Dead. Completely dead.
Naruto glanced back at the Nine-Tails.
Feeling that dangerous, playful gaze from his master,
the Nine-Tails shuddered.
"M-Master… what do you want me to do now?"
After saying it, it immediately regretted it.
Damn it!
I should've just shut up and let him speak first!
Why did I remind him?!
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Naruto smiled.
Kurama was already familiar with—and obedient to—his style.
That was a good thing.
He pointed at the corpse on the ground.
"Kurama—eat him."
Nine-Tails: …
What the actual fuck?! I'm a tailed beast, not a cannibal!
Why do I have to eat this thing?
That ninja looks like a brain-dead idiot.
Eating him might actually lower my IQ.
The Nine-Tails would rather die than eat this.
Who knew what kind of stupidity it might absorb?
"Master… I don't eat human flesh."
It said awkwardly.
Naruto looked speechless.
"If you don't eat him, how do we clean up the scene?"
The Nine-Tails lit up.
Master, why didn't you say so earlier?!
Cleaning up the scene—I'm an expert at that!
"Easy. One Tailed Beast Ball and this guy will be completely erased from existence."
"Blasted until not even ash remains."
Naruto slapped the Nine-Tails on the forehead in disappointment.
"Why not just blow up the entire village while you're at it?"
The Nine-Tails squirmed awkwardly.
"If Master wants… it's not impossible. We blow everything up and run away afterward."
Destroy Konoha?
That sounds great!!
Ptooey!!!
What about all his wives?
The big ones, the small ones.
And Tsunade—the one with assets bigger than most girls combined.
His eternal true love.
Forever best girl.
He'd already picked out names for the kids.
Naruto's face darkened.
This damn fox was getting ideas again—trying to cause trouble???
"Kurama—you trying to start something?"
"Heaven and Earth as my witness—I'm not, I didn't, Master please don't wrong me!"
"Cut the crap. Hurry up and deal with the body. If you can't even handle something this small, then I'll handle you."
"Yes…"
Bang—
The puppet shadow clone vanished.
The plush-sized Nine-Tails glared viciously at the corpse.
Damn it.
Can't beat Naruto.
Life is just this disgusting.
Since I can't resist,
might as well enjoy the moment.
Using chakra might expose them.
After hesitating for a long time,
the Nine-Tails finally chose to eat the corpse—tears in its eyes.
"Heaven protect me—please don't let this affect my IQ."
"Otherwise my legendary name as the Nine-Tails will be ruined by this iron-headed idiot!"
The Nine-Tails muttered in Naruto's style.
The fresh slang Naruto used
had a certain vibe to it.
It rolled off the tongue naturally.
It just slipped out.
